I wanted to like this book, but somewhere around the halfway mark, I started to lose interest. Maybe it’s because of the theme (see summery), but the plot felt predictable and the character growth didn’t seem nearly as drastic as the narrator keeps telling us it was.

This book was a wild ride from start to finish, and I was unbelievably anxious at times. Haha. These two girls….it’s unbelievable what happens to them and how they come out on the other side. It’s inspiring and heartfelt and I just want these two to find their found family someday.

Hello Girls
This was the story of two girls with really bad home lives trying to escape and leave it behind them.
This book was bizarre, but it kind of worked? Starting with the negatives: the plot was a little unstructured, the characters were somewhat inconsistent, and the tone and pace of the book seemed to change a lot. However at the same time, it was telling a fascinating story, and you really couldn't help but root for the characters even though the crazy things they were doing.
PG-13 for abuse, murder, drugs, all sorts of random things
